Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I descale my coffee maker?
The frequency of descaling your coffee maker depends on its usage and the hardness of the water. For hard water, it is recommended to descale the device once a month, while soft water requires descaling every three months.
What is the recommended method for descaling my coffee maker?
For descaling your coffee maker, use a liquid descaler suitable for coffee machines, ensuring it is compatible with your device.
What is an espresso?
An espresso is a small amount of very concentrated coffee.
What is the shelf life of coffee beans?
The expiration date of coffee beans is indicated on the packaging, and this date is valid as long as the bag remains sealed.
How should I store coffee optimally?
It is recommended to store coffee in a clean, airtight container, such as a coffee canister.
How does the grind affect the taste of coffee?
The grind of the beans significantly influences the taste of the coffee. A fine grind will produce a stronger flavor, while a coarser grind will yield a milder taste.
Why is my coffee maker not brewing coffee?
First, check that the water reservoir is sufficiently filled. Also, ensure that the brew chamber is properly closed and that the machine is plugged in and turned on.

My coffee is too weak, what can I do?
